Hi,
I have about 10 days till test day. I would appreciate your kind suggestions about what my preparation plan could be for the last 10 days. FYI. I have already reviewed Satcey's post .

So far, I have focussed my preparation on OG, QR and VR. I do not plan to take any more tests as I have already taken the following tests:
GMAT Prerp 1 (twice)
GMAT Prerp 2
Power Prep 1
Kaplan CAT
MGMAt CAT

I have been scoring in the 640-680 range. Do you think it makes sense for me to spend about 2-3 days on Kaplan 800?

I have finished solving the OG problems once and have repeated some that I have difficulty with. I haveseen messages on the board which state that the actual GMAt questions are harder, especially in Quant. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
Stoic

Kaplan 800 has some great strategy for tough problems, but is a little light in terms of practice problems (not many). I think you shouldn't invest any more into new books but spend your remaining days reviewing your weaknesses and analyzing previous practice tests/practice sets...

Don't want to confuse you but it is true that GMAT problems are quite a bit harder than OG and also a bit harder than GMATPrep. Be prepared for a first hard question on math. It was not mid level, it was hard in my case. I also got nervous actually.

Would not be a bad idea to browse through Kaplan800. But don't change your strategy completely now. Repeat everything especially the RC and CR from Kaplan. From my personal experience RC was much harder than crappy OG RC.

Don't panic, you will do well!!!

hey!

I wanted to know what is the difference between GMATprep and PowerPrep and where did you get these practice tests.
I downloaded two from www.mba.com website.
Best of luck with your GMAT

Thanks
Ash
